Saint John’s Resort Internship Program

In partnership with LIV Golf, Saint John’s Resort, the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation, Midnight Golf, and Outlyr.

Position Summary

This year-long, paid internship offers a unique opportunity to help plan and execute the 2026 LIV Golf Team Championship — the league’s premier global tournament. Hosted at Saint John’s Resort and produced in partnership with Outlyr (LIV Golf’s global event planning partner), this high-impact experience will immerse students in every stage of planning a world-class sporting event.

Saint John’s Resort Interns will work directly with Saint John’s Resort and Outlyr staff on event operations, vendor and sponsor coordination, guest experience design, logistics, hospitality, and tournament infrastructure. From initial planning meetings to on-the-ground execution, students will gain hands-on exposure to what it takes to bring an elite professional golf tournament to life. You’ll get to learn from every part of the team—from marketing to food and beverage to guest experience.

Equally important is the program’s focus on leadership, mentorship, and personal growth. Throughout the year, LIV Golf – Saint john’s Resort Interns will embody the Midnight Golf Program’s spirit of giving back and inspiring the next generation by mentoring the Midnight Golf 2025/2026 cohort through monthly on-course activations. These sessions include skills clinics, rounds on the Little Cardinal course paired with mentors, and candid leadership reflections that turn experience into wisdom. In addition to giving back, interns will plan and host a LIV-style tournament for their peers, applying what they’ve learned to create a meaningful, celebratory capstone event. At the same time, they will invest in their own development through national leadership conferences and professional coaching — emerging not only as capable planners, but as confident, purpose-driven leaders.
